I am trying to cancel my subscription and it is impossible, it seems. After waiting for a reply for 2 weeks, I got an email with "deep apologies' but no help. They are saying it can not be canceled for 2025. How they call it customer care is beyond me. The customer portal does not work, it's not possible to cancel a subscription via that either. I wasted my money and time on this and got 0 hep from their customer service. They used to stand for something and now it's just trash, scamming people with their auto renewal practices without the means to opt out. I will never subscribe to anything Conde Nast.

SCAM. BEWARE. This is a not a legit site. They don't respond to any emails and you will not receive your subscription.

Everything is. Scam. I had to go to PayPal autopay and removed autopay for subscription. Hope it worked. Phone calls and e-mails ignored.

Predatory practices with regards to renewals. I did not receive advance notice of renewal payment taken via paypal (rather than direct debit), which was promised, having immediately contacted their customer service (< 24 hours) they took 15 days to reply then said as it had been more than 10 days I could not receive any form of refund. The renewal price was also more than 100% higher than signing up to a new subscription.

I am being charged $4.27 every month since July for the New Yorker digital magazine. I have never subscribed! They can't find any kind of account for me, yet I am still being charged!

Worst customer service if you want to get your money back. Spoiler alert - you just can't.

These people somehow stole my business email and have since been spamming me to death from all of their publications. I don't read ANY of them. Desperate and horrible business practices. Don't volunteer your email to this company or you'll never get away from them.

These people are insufferable. They will downrate your comment on the websites they own even if that comment is entirely innocolous and harmless into oblivion because wahhh wahhh boohooo woe is me I don't like what that person had to say. Their websites are over moderated, awful, the karma system is a disgrace, it has empowered outright bullies to downrate newcomers into oblivion, no one has to explain why they voted your comment down, they feel entitled to do it and not even tell you why. Avoid their websites. Especially Arstechnica.
